Study Notes

Solutions

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more components
Solute is the component present in lesser amount
Solvent is the component present in larger amount
Binary solution has two components
Ternary solution has three components
Quaternary solution has four components
Aqueous solution: Water is the solvent
Non-aqueous solution: Water is not the solvent

Types of Solutions

Gaseous solutions: Gas in gas (e.g., mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases)
Liquid solutions: Gas in liquid (e.g., oxygen dissolved in water), liquid in liquid (e.g., ethanol dissolved in water), solid in liquid (e.g., glucose dissolved in water)
Solid solutions: Gas in solid (e.g., hydrogen in palladium), liquid in solid (e.g., amalgam of mercury with sodium), solid in solid (e.g., copper dissolved in gold)

Methods for Expressing Concentrations

Mass percentage (w/w): (Mass of component / Mass of solution) x 100
Volume percentage (v/v): (Volume of component / Volume of solution) x 100
Mass by volume percentage (w/v): (Mass of solute / Volume of solution) x 100
Parts per million (ppm): (No. of parts of component / No. of parts in solution) x 10⁶
Mole fraction (x): Ratio of moles of a component to the total moles of all components
Molarity (M): Number of moles of solute per liter of solution
Molality (m): Number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent

Solubility

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure
Saturated solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure
Unsaturated solution: Contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure
Supersaturated solution: Contains more solute than is normally possible at a given temperature and pressure

Henry's Law

The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid
Higher partial pressure = higher solubility

Vapour Pressure of Liquid Solutions

Vapour pressure of a liquid is the pressure exerted by its vapours in equilibrium with the liquid
It depends on the nature of liquid, temperature, and concentration.
Raoult's Law for volatile liquids: The partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution

Colligative Properties

Colligative properties depend only on the number of solute particles, not on their nature
Examples: Relative lowering in vapour pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point, osmotic pressure

Elevation in Boiling Point

The boiling point of a solution containing a non-volatile solute is higher than the boiling point of the pure solvent
The difference in boiling points is termed elevation in boiling point (ΔT_b)
ΔT_b = K_b x m

Depression in Freezing Point

The freezing point of a solution containing a non-volatile solute is lower than the freezing point of the pure solvent
The difference in freezing points is termed depression in freezing point (ΔT_f)
ΔT_f = K_f x m

Osmotic Pressure

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher solvent concentration to a region of lower solvent concentration
Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent across the semipermeable membrane
It is directly proportional to the molar concentration of the solution and the absolute temperature

Azeotropes

Azeotropes are constant boiling mixtures of two volatile liquids that have a constant composition in both the liquid and vapor phases
Minimum boiling azeotropes: Show a positive deviation from Raoult's law
Maximum boiling azeotropes: Show a negative deviation from Raoult's law
